In the magazine, she opened up about the X Factor, her friends, and Niall Horan! Here's what she had to say.

About her friendships:

"I"m consistently busy, but I make sure I spend a lot of time with my friends and family […] I have friends who love me for who I am and don't care about what I'm doing."

About those pesky dating rumors:

"[Niall's] a really awesome, sweet guy. But he's not my boyfriend. I'm in a place right now where I really need to focus on myself. Obviously, I'm still going to like people - or love them - but I need to not be in a relationship for a while because I need to be okay with being alone first."

About the X Factor:

“There’s so much more to it than just being a talented singer. I’m going to help them mentally prepare for everything that’s coming"

About her upcoming album:

"For a long time, I was pretending to be someone that I wasn’t, and I was miserable. When I came out and said, “I’m human, I’ve got problems, but I’m willing to share them,” that’s when I started to really connect. I’ve just begun working on my fourth album, and I want to do that in my music too. I’m tired of songs that don’t have much emotion in them.”
